| ALL THE WORLD HAS GONE BY | TÁ AN SAOL IMITHE LEIS |
| | |
| All the world has gone by | Tá an saol imithe leis |
| All the winds have gone by | Tá na gaotha imithe leo |
| Now you and I are going by | Tá tusa is mise imithe linn |
| For hope is the flower of childhood | Sé bláth na hóige é an dóchas |
| And memories sister to silence | Deirfiúr an tosta í an chuimhne |
| And tears are the anguish of truth | Arraing na fírinne – deora |
| For children are choirs of starlight | Is páistí mar chór na réaltaí |
| And petals are names by your bedside | Peitil ina n-ainm cois leapa |
| And dream are the murmurs of yesterday's rose | Is an bhrionglóid mar mhonabhar ón rós inné |
| | |
| All the world has gone by | Tá an saol imithe leis |
| All the winds have gone by | Tá na gaotha imithe leo |
| Now you and I are going by | Tá tusa is mise imithe linn |
| For fear is the masking of reason | An eagla mar mhasc ar an réasún |
| And freedom is false without honor | Is bréag í an tsaoirse gan onóir |
| And peace is the flame we hold in our hands | Síocháin mar lasair againn ’nár lámh’ |
| For men are the leaves on the willow | An duine mar dhuilleog na sailí |
| And love is the whispering wind | An grá mar chogar na gaoithe |
| And the gardens we share are never alone | Is na gairdíní ’roinntear, nílid leo féin |
| | |
| All the world has gone by | Tá an saol imithe leis |
| All the winds have gone by | Tá na gaotha imithe leo |
| Now you and I are going by | Tá tusa is mise imithe linn |
| All the world has gone by | Tá an saol imithe leis |
| All the winds have gone by | Tá na gaotha imithe leo |
| Now you and I have gone by | Tá tusa is mise imithe linn |
